i used to HATE coffee with a passion, but since i've been at college i've found i really need it to wake up in the mornings. at first i put cream and sugar in it, but i've slowly weaned myself off that so all i need is a little splenda. i think it's an acquired taste!

mworld- those articles are so helpful!! thanks for sharing :):) and thank you azdak! tomorrow i'm going to try to do 12.0 at maybe like 3.5? hopefully i can handle that. i don't know why it never crossed my mind before that I was really hurting my workout! thanks so much to everyone who posted- you guys are so helpful and…

ahh shoot I was really afraid of that!! I'll definitely just decrease my incline and speed and slowly work my way back up so I can train myself to do it without holding on. I'm scared to even think how many calories I THINK i've burned that I actually haven't! but with the whole overestimating thing, I typically take what…

thank you!! i'm not positive my scale was completely accurate but it's extremely motivating anyways! :) and about the running thing- i did cross country for all four years of middle school and all four years of high school, so i've pretty much always been a runner. i didn't run religiously during my off-season though. i…

wow thanks so much everyone!!!!!! wow diet and exercise actually works... who knew?!

I have extremely flat feet and they gave me so many problems! i'd recommend going to a running store where they look at your feet and watch you run. they do a good job of finding the perfect shoes for your feet and running form. if you don't have somewhere like that nearby, try the adidas supernova control. that's what i…

if you're already getting that time, you will kill my time in the near future!! you're already beating out girls on my team who were 15-18 and not overweight so keep it up!

Thanks!! My time was 24:13. Not setting any olympic records of course, but I'm happy!

do you have access to workout machines? I always read over notes or the textbook as I elliptical, walk at an incline, or bike.

hahaha that just made my day... I think you ended this debate fair and square. you are HOT!!

I WANT TO TRY THIS SO BAD!! unfortunately I'm a freshman in college and I wasn't allowed to bring my car, and there are no good grocery stores within walking distance :( the only thing we have close by is a CVS!

YOU ROCK!! i'm definitely going to get that. thank you SO SO much for your help!! :)

HUGE change!!! you look beautiful :) keep up the good work!

GREAT JOB!!! hard work pays off :) keep it up!

I ran cross country for 8 years and my shins always gave me trouble. I would get shin splints, have to do the elliptical for all my workouts, but then run in our race on Saturday. I always felt unprepared for Saturday if I didn't run through the week though, so my junior year when I got shin splints I just decided to keep…

ok so i've done my research and i'm listening to you wiser people, and i will definitely try to eat up more of my exercise calories. but i have one more question! (last one i promise!) what are good foods to eat when you've already eaten all your meals and you just need some good calories to bring you to your goal? for…

ahh thank all of you for your input!! i always get confused about this stuff. the thing is, i'm genuinely not hungry. If i ate anymore, it would be "boredom" eating which i also hear is a huge no-no for dieters. but I also don't want my body to hold on to my extra weight. i don't FEEL like i'm in "starvation mode".. not…

I'll put up my whole running playlist- I love it!! It keeps me really motivated during my runs. All I Ever Wanted- Basshunter Barely Breathing- Duncan Sheik Beautiful Nightmare- Beyonce Bleeding Love- Leona Lewis Chances- Five for Fighting Closer- Ne-Yo Club Love- Taylor Swift & Usher Crazy Dreams- Carrie Underwood…

Hi everyone! I just found this group and it's so perfect! I am about 5'2" - 5'3" and it's rough. I feel like any weight gain is so noticeable on us short girls! Then again, weight loss is probably also pretty noticeable! (I wouldn't know yet- haha) Anyways, I have a question for all of you! I weighed myself today and I was…
